Blatniks, with new member of the family.
There was a gap of several hours between the church ceremony and the reception.
The bridal party went to a local park to take pictures and some of
the family migrated to Sentinel to relax for a bit.
The reception was held at a local church's party center, right here in Brecksville.

Roger pops open a bottle of the Grandinetti's homemade wine.
They have been making wine for years, on a fairly large scale, and
they're quite good at it.
Sarah is stunned that I tried some of this very special wine.
